Goldmine
Colbie Caillat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd have a dollar more than I would need to get by
'Cause I'm a billionaire if you count every sunrise
Wakin' by your side, and every good night
If all you had was the way that I love you
You'd have more honey than the honey bees in June
I'll keep you laughin', keep you smilin', keep your dreams true
Long as I have you, nothin' we can't do
Fly me back to the moon where you took me
The very first time that you kissed me
In the sweet starlight of your endless eyes when you lit this fire
Feels like we're sittin' on top of a goldmine
Flame so bright that it won't die
In a billion years it'll still be here cause our love is a goldmine
Yeah, our love is a goldmine
If everything we ever owned disappeared today
We'd build a castle in the sand somewhere far away
Don't need no money, no TV, don't need no microwave
Just the ocean waves, and the love we make
Fly me back to the moon where you took me
The very first time that you kissed me
In the sweet starlight of your endless eyes when you lit this fire
Feels like we're sittin' on top of a goldmine
Flame so bright that it won't die
In a billion years it'll still be here cause our love is a goldmine
We'll be rich in wrinkles, old and gray
When the risin' tide sweeps us away
Until then
Fly me back to the moon where you took me
The very first time that you kissed me
In the sweet starlight of your endless eyes when you lit this fire
Feels like we're sittin' on top of a goldmine
Flame so bright that it won't die
In a billion years it'll still be here cause our love is a goldmine
Feels like we're sittin' on top of a goldmine
Flame so bright that it won't die
In a billion years it'll still be here cause our love is a goldmine
Yeah
Yeah our love is a goldmine
The lyrics of "Goldmine" by Colbie Caillat describe a love so strong and meaningful that it transcends material possessions and earthly concerns. The singer describes how even with just a dollar and their partner's smile, they feel wealthy beyond measure because they have each other. The idea of wealth and treasure is central to the song, with the metaphor of a goldmine representing the enduring value of their love. The singer talks about building a castle in the sand and not needing material objects because their love is enough to sustain them. The imagery of the moon and stars adds to the dreamlike quality of the song, with the lovers feeling like they are floating above the world, secure in their love for each other.
The song is about the enduring nature of love, and the fact that it can provide a source of security and happiness no matter what happens. The title "Goldmine" refers to the idea that true love is something that is valuable beyond measure and will endure for a long time. The song is a celebration of the power of love, and how it can make even the simplest things in life feel rich and fulfilling. It also touches on the idea that material possessions are not what truly matter in life, and that the most important thing is having someone to love and rely on.

Wakin' by your side, and every good night
Starting and ending each day next to you is a priceless gift

Long as I have you, nothin' we can't do
With you by my side, anything is possible
Fly me back to the moon where you took me
I want to relive the moment you first enraptured me with your love
The very first time that you kissed me
That single kiss was enough to spark a flame that still burns bright
In the sweet starlight of your endless eyes when you lit this fire
Your gaze was all it took to ignite a passion that still feels new
Feels like we're sittin' on top of a goldmine
Being with you makes me feel rich beyond measure
Flame so bright that it won't die

Our love is our home, and we can make it anywhere
Don't need no money, no TV, don't need no microwave
All we require is each other's love and companionship
Just the ocean waves, and the love we make
The sound of the waves and our love for each other are all we need to be content
We'll be rich in wrinkles, old and gray
Our love will continue to grow even as we age
When the risin' tide sweeps us away
Our love is as powerful as the forces of nature
In a billion years it'll still be here cause our love is a goldmine
Our love will last for eternity and continue to enrich our lives
Feels like we're sittin' on top of a goldmine
Our love makes us feel like we have everything we could ever want
Yeah our love is a goldmine
Our love is the most valuable thing in the world
